Download and Install

Download the webinator.tar.Z file, from the URL given to you during the registration procedure, to a temporary directory on your machine. Then uncompress it, extract it, and run the install script.

   uncompress webinator.tar.Z
   tar xvf webinator.tar
   ./install
   rm install widb.tar webinator.tar
or:
   uncompress <webinator.tar.Z | tar xvf -
   ./install
   rm install widb.tar webinator.tar.Z

Run the install script as the user that owns your WEB server directories. Be prepared to answer questions about where your CGI programs and HTML pages reside and what user the WEB server runs as. The directory that the install is run from must be writable by yourself and WEB server user.

If you move your WEB server directories around after installing Webinator, you will have to re-install it.

The tar files and install script are not needed after installation is successfully completed.
